Is It Possible / How Expensive Is it...to Add a Gas Drop?

My Husband is a licensed plumber with over 10 years of experience. He is a Supervisor for a big plumbing company out of Fort Worth but does new construction in Frisco, Little Elm, Sanger, Denton, Celina, and so forth. I can send you specific references if you are interested. :)

He charges $60/hour for a job like this. He guarantees all his work and works under/ has a Master License number if needed as well. He has his Journeyman's license and is scheduled to take his Master's license test within the next couple months so that we can start up our own company.

He does contract work ALL the time. He actually got a new Stainless Gas Grill in May for his birthday that he ran gas through the attic from out water heater over the kitchen and stubbed it out in about 2 hours. If you want it ran directly out of the brick it would take about an hour longer.

He can do this this weekend if you are interested or any time you are available. Feel free to contact me any time. His name is Mike.

Hi!

Well, I asked my husband, a homebuilder, and he said it just depends on where a current line is vs. where the grill will be. For instance, our inside fireplace has a gas line. Our patio is right behind the brick wall of our fireplace, so it would be a matter of running a short line from the fireplace to the outside through the brick. If your nearest gas line is on the other side of your house, it would be more expensive and extensive if they have to run it through sheet rock, under a patio or through brick.

Hope that helps a bit.

I asked my plumber when he was hear a couple of months ago, because we were thinking about running a gas line to our kitchen. Our fireplace is on the same wall, but there are several windows between them. You would have to go up through the roof/attic and then down the wall. He subcontracts that work out and said it would probably cost over $1000.00. I was not a big fan of running a gas line in our attic so we opted not to do it. If you fireplace is on the a wall that you could just go straight through to the outside it might be cheaper.

Atmos Energy web-site has contractors for you to contact. Also, the people at Bar-b-ques Galore (one contractor who Atmos Energy sends you to) are extremely knowledgable and friendly. I hope this helps!

That could probably be done. but has to be done by a plumber. call one and have him give you an estimate. The line would probably be close to the house. the idea isn't bad, but the cost may be more than you want to pay.
good luck,

Just a been there and done that advice:

When you install this line put a valve shut off in easy reach of the grill. This has saved us so many times. We have often used the grill when it flared up and would have burned dinner. However, the "kill switch" is awesome to shut off the grill really fast and know that you have it completely off even as the grill gets older and worn out. We made one last over 13 years by using this valve to control the gas when the knobs were no longer reliable.
